    Costumes on starwarshop.com

    http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/sho...light=costumes

    Maybe it's just me, but these look as unimpressive as the costumes that've been marketed by various companies for years. Lucasfilm looks like they have done as remarkable a job with this as they did with the customizable t-shirts.

    man, that R2 costume is a genuine PICE

    and the Dog-Vader thing looks like cruelty to animals almost...

    Still don't know what costume I'm gonna don but it'll be better than these even if it is my default T-shirt Ninja :mabs:&

    I'm thinking about making an Ewok costume for Chux Jr next year. I was hoping that I could find something there of decent quality to save myself the trouble. I'm trying to figure out what sort of idiot would buy the infant Stormtrooper costume, with full helmet.

    How surprising could this really be? These look as unimpressive as the costumes marketed by various companies for years because they ARE - these are all Rubies costumes which is generally the worst at this stuff.

    Like to eventually get a Jedi outfit. So Rubies is pretty much crap huh? I saw some nice Jedi costumes at Comic Con. I should have asked someone where they got them. This year I'm going as Reginald Von Trip-taker. Complete with khakis, knee boots, Pith Gunga Din helmet. I just need to get a monacle, handlebar moustache-sideburns, some kinda pipe, maybe a whip, &den...

    glad I picked up the TPM Jar Jar for 2 bucks (reduced from 39.99!!) all those years ago... the ears ain't exactly right, but it is good and scary looking, maybe it is time for me to finally snap a pic of myself donning it &

    I don't know whether I'll be Pee-wee Herman, Chuck Norris, or nothing. My mom made a sweet Jedi robe a few months ago so maybe that? Dunno.

    Anyway, these costumes ain't TOO bad, I mean, they're like the same ones they always have. I want to see a real picture of that $1000 Vader costumes, though, since it looks pretty killer.

    Master Replicas I believe showed off some prototype costume replicas at Comic Con, they weren't even sure if they were doing them wearable or not, and I believe the project stalled.

    My opinion ? The time for that is looooong overdue. Hurry up, please.
